I've tried installing Jenkins on AWS & DigitalOcean instances/droplets without any luck.
For EC2 instances used the latest Amazon Linux AMI (ami-f9dd458a) & Ubuntu 14.04 (ami-ed82e39e). On DigitalOcean I tried using Ubuntu 14.04 & 16.04. I've also attempted to install jenkins using jdk-7 & jdk-8 following Debian based installation or Red-Hat distribution installation instructions (even tried to install LTS version).
For all of the above the installation runs smoothly but after unlocking with the initialAdminPassword
and selecting either option in the wizard ("Install suggested plugins" or "Select plugins to install") I face a connection (?) error:
I copied the logs from /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log
and they are in this gist.
Could this be a dumb mistake I did along the way? I've used Jenkins from a docker container but kinda need to install natively now for. Thanks for the help.
Solved: Install on an instance with more RAM.
For some reason I had no problems installing in a smaller machine using the docker image. Oh well :)
